Customer reported: "tonight, i had an incident with a malfunction in the feeding bag that could have caused severe harm to my patient.While i was changing out the feeding bag, i took the old feeding bag out of the pump (still attached to the patient) so i could prime the new feeding bag.When i disconnected the old feeding bag from my patient, i noticed that feeds were gushing out.The 40-50 mls of feed that were left in the old bag had rapidly free flowed into my (b)(6) patient (her feeds were currently at 20 ml/hr) in about 2 minutes time.I tried to aspirate off the tpt and only got 6 mls.I notified the [attending mds] of the incident.I stopped feeds x 1 hr per md order and abdominal girths have been started q shift." (b)(4).
